Eggs the way you like them. Crispy hash browns. Freshly squeezed juice. A mound of fluffy pancakes with a choice of syrups. Toast, white or wheat.

One meaty decision remains. Which do you choose?

Bacon

Oh, blessed strips of crispy, salty, smoky goodness . . . or thick and chewy pleasure. Even if you never fry bacon at home, you've got to have it with your breakfast order. It so perfectly complements all those other foods on your plate.

Sausage

Links or patties, doesn't matter.

Keep your simple bacon. Sausage combines meaty flavors with a blend of aromatic herbs like sage, and you don't get burnt ends or (worse) fatty pieces from where the bacon is underdone.

Bacon, bacon , bacon! Crisp, not flabby. And make it Neuske's, or don't bother. Every other bacon comes in a distant second. The only breakfast sausage worth considering is the saltissa from Groppi's Market. If you're gonna have the calories, make them worth it.

In most cases, I am a bacon eater with breakfast, but I can get my hands on some Usingers link sausage, I will have those instead. They are the tastiest breakfast sausages around but they are difficult to find, unless you go downtown or a Sendik’s.

If your an old south sider like me, you remember Gramma's - "-hit on a Shingle" - pkg'd corn beef in a creamy white suace - poured hot over a piece of toast- nothin beats it with some scrammbled - cheesy eggs....back when bacon or sausage was a delicacy....
